Hey, Can someone help me on replacing with <b>?

$text = str_replace('[b]', '<b>', $data['post']); 
$text = str_replace('[/b]', '</b>', $data['post']);
echo $text);

I see a ")" in your 3rd line that shouldn't be there.

You're close

$data['post'] = str_replace('[b]', '<b>', $data['post']); 
$data['post'] = str_replace('[/b]', '</b>', $data['post']);
echo $data['post'];

 

Or you can use regex

$data['post'] = preg_replace('~\[b\](.*?]\[/b\]~', '<b>$1</b>', $data['post']);
echo $data['post'];
